    Kirby: "Roglic almost has his hands behind him at the moment, like a ski jumper"... what?

    Well, looks like they are all descending carefully, nobody seems to be risking anything yet.

    OK Froome's got past Zakarin.

    I think I descend more smoothly than Zakarin.

    Zakarin, what on earth is he playing at. Just locked up the back wheel, he's not even in the drops!!

    Zakarin nearly stacks it. Still not in the drops.

    Rolf Sørensen is utterly disgusted.

    Zakarin is an absolute liability when the road goes down

    How far back is Sagan? Hope he's ok.

    Numpty is descending on the hoods. Silly sausage.

    Quintana goes over the top of the climb...if you remember that...

    It beggars belief how someone can be quite that bad and still be a top pro.

    I mean I know Froome was a bit rubbish to begin with but he seems to have improved - Zakarin is still dangerous.

    I had a meltdown on that hairpin going up.

    May have cried.

    Like a true sportive rider (except better and way more skilled).

    Thomas could win another stage here

    Rolf Sørensen wants the camera off Zakarin, he just can't bear it.

    Sort your life out.

    Faster and you can squeeze your brakes more easily. Double win.

    Froome's overtaken Martin as well now, Majka next in line

    Negligable on the fastness...and why are you braking? ;)

    (think it's a mountain bike thing for me)

    Sagan 31 mins down. Should make the time cut, just.

    Yeah but you're not a team leader at the Tour de France.

    Still don't get why you wouldn't though, it's faster, more stable and you have better control of the brakes.

    Roglic has a little gap, Dumoulin chasing him for Thomas again.

    Moto guy is doing a good job but he's blates drafting Roglic.
